is he giving you the manifold/trubo combination? If so the bolt holes on the manifold can be slotted and the exhaust runners ground out to match the 12a, so you will be alright there. The TII intercooler is garbage in my opinion, get it and sell it on ebay. search around and you will find any of the info you need, unless you have some more specific questions, then go ahead and ask them here.

Personally I have always hated the idea of a top mount intercooler. For this simple fact HEAT RISES. So it should be called in interheater. Might work ok if your moving but stuck in traffic, not so much. what do you usually do when the traffic breaks.

i am in the middle of mounting a t2 intercooler to my car, I will post pics when all finished. I mounted it up front on the drivers side, in front of the big tubular brace that goes across the front. Also, I am mounting a t2 radiator in the stock location (not tilting it foward), which is a bitch, but i am getting it done. Its mostly the radiator piping that sucks

Top mounts are not the best idea, but the keep the frontal impact damage costs down.
